Hi Philip,

As far as I am aware, it hasn't really started up since Covid. There was a plan to resurrect it, but that seems to have not come to fruition.

Regards,

Hi Tim.

Have you heard if this is still the case? I’d be interested in starting up a North West chapter in Manchester if there was sustained interest.

Hi,

I've emailed the NW chapter contact a few times recently and had no reply so I can only assume it didn't start back up again after Covid.

I hope to get involved with the current or new chapter, if one were to be setup.

I would love for this to get some traction! I thought it was a shame when I realised the NW Chapter was inactive.

Hi, that sounds great. Let’s try and plan something to gauge numbers, and we can then go to ISC2 about restarting the chapter officially.

I like the sound of that. If I can be of any help please let me know via here or directly, I will keep an eye out for any Comms.

I know I would be interested and I have a colleague who would as well. We are both south Manchester based.

Hi all, as a new member I would also be interested in this. Also based in Manchester

Hi @sammonsdaniel ,

I have sent an email to chapters@isc2.org to determine the steps we need to take to revive the NW Chapter.

RossM — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 14:56:03 GMT

Hi Phillip.

Thanks very much for reaching out to them. Please do let us know what they advise regarding the next steps.
I’m able to host in person events at my workspace in central Manchester, should that be of use.

Re: Welcome to the (ISC)² North West England Chapter Group Hub!

TimWilkes — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 11:30:25 GMT

If you want any help with setup or running the chapter, I'd be glad to help.

The chapter which existed before covid didn't just meet in Manchester, it have a meeting in Liverpool as well.

Hi Philip,

Did you hear anything back?

ISC2 chapter leaders summit starts today. Registration link below. Looking at agenda, there are relevant sessions on starting and running a new chapter. I would be interested if we can get NW one up and running.

I've created a group on linkedin which can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/10143291/

You would have to sign up, but if we can get an idea of numbers that will help with getting the chapter off the ground.

I can also reach out to Tony (who is admin on here) as well.

Re: Welcome to the (ISC)² North West England Chapter Group Hub!

Nostramo — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 12:29:56 GMT

I have requested to join the linked in group.

Re: Welcome to the (ISC)² North West England Chapter Group Hub!

TimWilkes — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 12:03:15 GMT

I've added in quite a few people now. My only criteria really for allowing people is they are doing something in cyber security (preferably not sales, but hey) and based in the north west.

Moderation is on for people who have joined within the last 30 days or who post external links. Please feel free to invite others. I have put up a welcome post as well basically saying come join the conversation.

Assuming the chapter starts up, more than happy to hand over admin of the group. If the group grows large enough, I may need additional help running it anyway, regardless of what happens.

Re: Welcome to the (ISC)² North West England Chapter Group Hub!

TimWilkes — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 13:22:58 GMT

Also, I'd be happy with helping the main chapter as well. Just not sure in what capacity.

Re: Welcome to the (ISC)² North West England Chapter Group Hub!

RossM — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 09:48:34 GMT

Likewise, I’d be happy to help and share the load. There is an event space in central Manchester with Cyber Security start ups that would be happy to host meetings for the chapter monthly.
